In April 2017, VWT's Ruth Hanniffy was invited to appear on 'Big Week on the Farm' to discuss the pine marten live on RTÉ One! This year the show was held at the Shalvey family farm in County Cavan. In the weeks leading up to the live show, some pheasants were killed within an enclosure on the farm, and part of Ruth's role was to determine whether the enclosure could adequately keep out a carnivore, in particular a pine marten.
